EPALE now has a more crucial role than ever before to support and connect the adult learning community. Our platform is a place where the community can come together to share ideas, tools, resources and training to help each other to get through this crisis. Many could benefit from the expertise and experience of others in the passionate and professional adult education community. As a response to the COVID-19 public health emergency, EPALE has put together a comprehensive strategy to help the community.

Procrastination is a widespread and human behaviour (Steel, 2007, Steel et al 2001, Klassen et al 2008, Ellis & Knaus, 1977, Rothblum & Solomon, 1984), which is common across different situations in every area of life. Procrastination is a self-regulation failure that has an effect on the quality of work and academic success, one’s image, and which results in a variety of sensations and negative emotions, increased levels of stress, and an increased chances of illness (Tice & Baumeister, 1997; Ferrari, 2010; 37; Pychyl & Sirois, 2016, 163).
